HOT OFF THE PRESS!
Bonaire Blonde
Book 4 of the Tampa Bay Tropics Thriller Series
George L. Fleming
No shucking around!
If killer thriller BONAIRE BLONDE were an oyster, there’d be two literary pearls nestled inside. The first turns back the clock to the long-ago holiday when duo dynamic Reed O’Hara & hubby Jake Dupree meet and fall in love on Bonaire Island deep in the Southern Caribbean. Amid the chaos of mad mystery, sexy suspense & playing golf with hand grenades, the crime-fighting couple forge their bond. Woven into this tangled web is a modern tale, set in the sun, sand & shade of Tampa Bay, where Jake & Reed are tracking down the murderer of a young Cuban dancer who’s death may have been carried out on orders of one of two biker gangs a rumblin’ through the Tampa Bay Area. No pearl clutchers allowed. As Reed sez seductively to Jake, “Go ahead, Fisher King, wet your line in my pond.”
Beyond the Yew

With an expat’s global vision, rooted in the leafy enclaves of South Liverpool, these artists, teachers, merchants, and healers embrace their legacy, and prepare for the new millennium with a vision conceived and nurtured under ‘the Yew’.

The Trouble with Telling
Bickford Penn
Weary of whodunits?
Looking for something daringly different?
How about a quirky mystery/romance with a heady premise?
To wit, discovering the root of one’s subconscious desires. No murders to solve here, but a socially challenged Army Specialist’s struggles with his uncontrollable impulses could lead to death by embarrassment. Meanwhile, a geeky but gutsy
first-year college student gets even with her devious boss by undermining his illicit activities.
Two tales of woe and intrigue have been woven into one.
The Trouble with Telling is a coming-of age story about perceptions, misperceptions, and the pain of personal growth. The truth is out there…maybe.
